Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick in Shade No. 567 Review

Hello Ladies,

To break the mid week monotony, I am
back with a lipstick review. I am not a fan of lakme lipsticks. Not that I hate
them. I just did not have the urge to try them out. I love to wear n*de colors
on my lips to work. They give me a sophisticated feel. One day, I was checking
out the lakme counter for their fast and fabulous nail paints and this lipstick
color caught my eye. I bought it without even swatching it.

It is the Lakme Enrich Satin in the
shade 567.

The lipstick comes in the standard
lakme packing. It is functional but nothing to boast about. The bullet’s cap
fits well making it a good travel buddy.

The color of the lipstick is n*de
brown. It is very creamy and buttery. Due to the buttery nature, it did not
dry out my lips while wearing it, but I will not call it moisturizing because once the lipstick
wears out, my lips feel dry. One thing I noticed about the color is, my lips
are moderately pigmented (rosy brown) and this lipstick comes out as a perfect
MLBB shade. It did not wash out my NC42 (approx) skin tone.

The lipstick requires two swipes to
become completely opaque. The lipstick does not accentuate fine lines and it
glides on easily. If we try to build the color with more than 3 swipes, the
color tends to bleed near the corners. However this can be fixed by wearing a
lip liner underneath.

The staying power of lipstick is very
less. On my lips, it stays for just 3 hours. I don’t like to touch up my makeup
or lips while at work and this is definitely not my companion at work.

Now Summing up the likes and dislikes

Likes:

1. Gorgeous N*de brown.

2. Creamy texture.

3. Pocket friendly.

4. Travel friendly packing.

Dislikes:

1. Tends to bleed near the corners.

2. Melts and breaks in Chennai
climate.

3. Very average staying power.

4. I hate the fragrance.

Verdict: Gorgeous N*de color at a very
affordable price tag. I will recommend it to all the creamy lipstick lovers but
I will not repurchase as I am more of a matte lipstick person.
